How does awakening dragon age work

User Info: Super Creatures. Not exactly, the rewards from Darkspawn Chronicles, Leliana's Song, Golems of Amgarrak, and Witch Hunt have separate versions for Origins and Awakening, with different tiers and stats in most cases anyway, Blight Blood might be the same for both. When you import a character into Awakening, the Awakening version replaces the Origins version. Which makes me wonder, can the Origins versions be import glitched onto a Warden like other DLC items that don't import, or are they simply replaced?

User Info: WorgenHunter WorgenHunter 10 years ago 1 What I mean by that is, if you buy the disc and install it, when you put in Origins and continue your save file do you get to go through the new content?

Does it unlock after you beat the game or before? If you start a new game on the Awakenings disc do you get to go through all the Origins stuff also? I have the first game and beat it a year ago but never touched it afterward but I want to come back to it. You are pretty much forced on the only path to the next area exit.

Thanks for into putting Steafan into a cage and giving me something to think about. More like that should be in dungeons. Not only another darkspawn attack around every corner. Arl Howe's estate in Leliana's Song is a bad example. For story purposes, the game closes many doors, and you cannot unlock them. Not with a high lockpicking skill either, because the doors cannot be interacted with. A sloppy way to give you only one choice and take away all role-playing options.

And so I killed everyone on my way out only to be overwhelmed in a scripted sequence that cannot be avoided. No way to escape through the basement. No way to take the cooks as hostages.

Uhm, oh well. Awakening does have a non-linear outline in that you get to pick what order you do several main quests in, just like Origins. And since you pick up a companion in each one, to an extent your game will differ on replays, if you do them in a different order. FWIW, I love it.

Sadly, Golems of Amgarek spelling? I'd play them on Hard or Nightmare to get cool stuff for your next replay of Origins : , but not again. Well, Golems is a serious challenge tactically that might appeal.

Especially since, if you didn't play a mage, you won't find one! Btw, Awakening - Golems - Witchhunt is the order that the import feature supports.

DA2 has a very different problem, but one that I cannot discuss without spoilers It's a tragedy you cannot avert. You cannot save your own mother, for goodness' sake!

You find out that Anders is an abomination, but you cannot kill him. You can manage to save the city, but that just leads irrevocably to a greater disaster.

You can choose sides in a massive conflict, only to find out that both are headed by bona fide monsters. All you can do is lose. And lose. What a loser of a game! As long as you have 6 you can do this as many time as you like and to any party member. Question: Are we able to expand our backpack space in addition to the slots we already have from Origins?

Answer: No. Bags vary depending on the merchant but remains at roughly the same price at 6. Question: Is there any way to import a character with their personal belongings from the party storage chest to go with their post-coronation ceremony decisions?

This is because after the battle with the Archdemon, the Warden has to choose between going to the post-coronation ceremony or going back to other DLC we cannot leave the post-coronation ceremony without leaving the game.

Because it is this post-coronation ceremony that determines whether the Warden chooses to: Accept Loghain's assets, Free the Alienage, Go travel, etc.. Is it not? Answer: It does not seem to matter if you load directly from the post-coronation save or from an epilogue save - the choices you made at the end of the game seem to carry over.

This means that you go back to Soldier's Peak provided you have played through the Warden's Keep DLC and get anything you want from the Party Storage Chest , as well as unequip party members, and then save - and import that save file. It does, as after the post-coronation save, you could carry your post-coronation decisions with you. Freeing Elves, becoming Teryn of Gwaren, etc. Question: Do we need to start hoarding runes in our inventory in Origins so that we could economically use them for runecrafting?

However, runecrafting is considerably more expensive than buying high-level runes in Origins. Most shopkeepers only sell novice, journeyman, and expert runes; in order to improve these, a separate purchase of a rune tracing which functions analogous to a crafting recipe is required.

Furthermore, creating with the exception of upgrading novice runes to journeyman runes, each upgrade requires two of the lesser runes to make one upgraded one. Additionally, every upgrade require the further purchase of a blank rune stone and a certain number of etching agents.

Question: Do gifts from Origins work on Awakening companions? Answer: Gifts from Origins can be used on Awakening companions. Plot gifts for Origins characters can also be used as regular gifts in Awakening. Answer: There are a large number of expensive items in Awakening. However, most of the top items from Origins will remain very useful for significant portions of Awakening. Depending on your character's build, some of these items may never be replaced.
